Foolishness

Ok (remember I'm "on one" when I start with "ok"?), let's talk about foolishness. In particular, family foolishness.

Why is it so hard to congratulate others' successes, recognize achievements, and respect differences of opinion when one is related? I have had a FREAKIN' LIFETIME of watching what I say, tiptoeing around fit throwers, etc. I am here to say that I AM FINISHED!!!

If you don't like the way I think - GOOD! My religion is different - GOOD! My house more/less "fancy" than yours - GOOD! I don't give a freakin' flappin' flip about your issues surrounding your issues or feel like I need to "tread lightly" around you regarding ________. I'm totally and completely FINISHED with all that rigamarole!

Here's the deal - if you're family ... I love you. That may mean I don't always "like" you, but I love you. End of story!

Now, let me be my bad ass self & you can be your bad ass self. When we get together, we can talk about how cool we are ... 'cause that's the way I roll!

I don't know what you are referring to, but I completely agree! I feel like I'm always trying to avoid offending people. I'm done!
